    Hello everyone, and welcome to this month’s edition of testgame.exe: Making the Adventure. This month, it being the ultra-special January issue of GameCola and all, I have decided to do something that some of you may remember from a few issues ago. That’s right: We will once again be taking a look at the very earliest stages of testgame development, back when the idea for testgame was nothing more than a real-time outpouring of semi-random elements in a IM-based text adventure between myself and real-life Paul. Makes sense? Well, I did a better job of explaining it last time. Suffice to say, this is a view of testgame that hardly anyone has seen before, so pay close attention.

    So it’s now been exactly two years since I started writing testgame.exe: Making the Adventure for GameCola. The years have just flown by, haven’t they? I thought that, this month, I’d take a look back at the early days of testgame. No, I’m not just going to repeat the same sort of thing I did for the January issue, in which I compared early production stills in the game to what the game looks like now.
